[opensuse] Brand new installation, and Software Update problems already :-(
by Mil T 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Hi! My trusty, old Windows NT box finally died last week. After reading a bunch about "Linux for the masses", and not wanting to spend $thousands on Microsoft software again, I decided to install Opensuse's 11.0 operating system. I bought a new PC with an AMD cpu, downloaded the whole Opensuse dvd using Bittorrent, and after a few confusing attempts with the installer, got everything up and running. Following the online documentation, I've set up Software Updates to keep up to date. When I tried to use the Yast application, I was getting some errors. So I used the Terminal to use the Zypper command line application. This is what I get as soon as I try to upgrade: zypper up Reading installed packages... 2 Problems: Problem: patch:libxcrypt-109.noarch conflicts with libxcrypt-32bit.x86_64 < 3.0-14.2 provided by libxcrypt-32bit-3.0-14.1.x86_64 Problem: patch:ConsoleKit-132.noarch conflicts with ConsoleKit-32bit.x86_64 < 0.2.10-14.2 provided by ConsoleKit-32bit-0.2.10-14.1.x86_64 Problem: patch:libxcrypt-109.noarch conflicts with libxcrypt-32bit.x86_64 < 3.0-14.2 provided by libxcrypt-32bit-3.0-14.1.x86_64 Solution 1: do not keep libxcrypt-32bit-3.0-14.1.x86_64 installed Solution 2: do not install patch:libxcrypt-109.noarch Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/C]: I've tried to find out what to doo from the documentation and online searching, but no real luck so far. I honestly have no idea what "libxcrypt" and "consolekit", why there are conflicts already, or what "Solution" I should choose. I'm a little frustrated & concerned that this is happening so soon after I've installed :-( Can someone please help me understand what to do here? -- Mil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] howto un-encode files from email text encoding??
by David C. Rankin 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Listmates, I have had a number of occasions where colleagues have bungled attachments to e-mail where I receive the message body and attachment all run-together in the body of the message. Often times I need to be able to un-encode and save the encoded spreadsheet, word processing document or photo back to its .doc, .xls or .jpg native file format. The encodings appear similar to: ------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C91E59.83DAB180 Content-Type: application/msword; name="PETITION - Original.doc" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="PETITION - Original.doc" 0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAATwAAAAAAAAAA EAAAUQAAAAEAAAD+////AAAAAE4AAAD///////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// <snip> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA _OR_ PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=image/jpeg:/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQIAAAAAAAD/2wBDAAEBAQEBAQ EBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBA QH/2wBDAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEB _OR_ ------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C91E59.83DAB180 Content-Type: application/pdf; name="spider bite case.pdf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="spider bite case.pdf" JVBERi0xLjQNCiXi48/TDQo2NyAwIG9iag0KPDwNCi9MaW5lYXJpemVkIDENCi9MIDEyNzYzMCAg ICANCi9IIFsgNjkzIDgyOCAgICAgICAgICAgICAgXQ0KL08gNjkNCi9FIDU2OTk2ICAgICANCi9O <snip> aWxlcg0KPDwNCi9TaXplIDY3DQovSUQgWzwyOGJmNGU1ZTRlNzU4YTQxNjQwMDRlNTZmZmZhMDEw OD48MjhiZjRlNWU0ZTc1OGE0MTY0MDA0ZTU2ZmZmYTAxMDg+XQ0KPj4NCnN0YXJ0eHJlZg0KMTQ2 DQolJUVPRg== ------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C91E59.83DAB180-- Years ago, there was an old uuencode/uudecode script that I recall using in DOS, but I don't have anything similar in my Linux tool box yet.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 and firestarter: Compatible?
by Mark V 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Hi, When the suse infrastructure comes back to life I'd like to investigate firestarter. I am wondering if it mangles <whichever> configuration files such that YeST will choke or vice-versa? Does anyone have any experience with this tool? Is there some openSUSE preferred tool that gives the same functionality and ease of use?
